Broadcasting

Warner Bros. Discovery Sports holds the rights to broadcast the Open Cup from 2023 to 2030, as part of a larger media rights agreement with U.S. Soccer.[15][16] Select matches from the first three rounds were broadcast for free on the Bleacher Report app or via the B/R Football YouTube channel.[17] Select matches are sublicensed to stream live on an involved team's YouTube channel, Eleven Sports or the CBS Sports Golazo Network.[18] The Round of 32 would see a majority of games featured on the Bleacher Report app and B/R Football YouTube channel, with four games on CBS Sports Golazo Network and four on the U.S. Soccer YouTube channel.[19] The Round of 16 and Quarterfinals had games split between Bleacher Report and CBS Sports Golazo Network.[20][21] The semifinals are planned to be streamed on both CBS Sports Golazo Network and Paramount+ in the United States as well as 20 international broadcasters due to Lionel Messi's signing with semifinalist Inter Miami CF, with the final airing on CBS Sports Network as well as streaming on Paramount+.[22] Spanish-language rights in the United States for the semifinals and final would belong to Telemundo and Universo, with both being streamed on Peacock.[23] In Argentina, it will be broadcast by TyC Sports only for Lionel Messi's Inter Miami matches.
